Rose Hill Golf Club in Bluffton is situated amongst plentiful live oaks draped with Spanish moss. There are also sparkling, crystal-clear lakes that come into play on several holes. The golf course is a part of Rose Hill Plantation, giving it a truly Southern look and feel. Most of the holes are flat and straightforward but there are a few tricky doglegs to keep the course interesting. The layout features formidable par 3s that will test even the best players and a notably difficult par 5 that measures just over 600 yards. The challenging holes are balanced with player-friendly features that make it versatile enough for a wide range of skill levels. Four sets of tees, the longest coming to just over 6,900 yards, make Rose Hill Golf Club even more accessible.

Staff very friendly!

Staff were awesome! Mark at check in was very friendly, Moved to area a month ago, it’s rained a lot , I hope that is why the course is in not so good shape. Some tee boxes were like hitting out of the rough. Would give it a try again later fall.

Needs better maintenance

Course has great layout, but needs maintenance. Grass height is uneven on fairways and greens. Carts are a bit old, with no rain covers on the back to protect your clubs.

Great Course and Great Starters

I’ve been here in the area on vacation for a week now and have played 6 different courses. Great course to play. Greens were great !

The starters were friendly and even found us on the course and stopped and chatted golf for a little bit.

I will definitely make this one of my go to places to play when I’m back here on vacation.

Great job Rose Hill !!

Dog track - but has potential

Great layout and has potential. However, the greens are horrible to put on… like putting on carpet. We teed off in the morning and the pin was left out for every hole. Not a single pin was in and we had no idea where we were hitting hitting into. Paid for 18 and left after 9. Ridiculous. Not worth the time.

rude staff

i went with family on vacation. they don’t golf much. first hole took us awhile, but the marshal followed us around, telling us to speed it up. over and over again. everyone was so rude. even the guy in the clubhouse. ruined the experience for my family, as they were stressed about learning golf AND dealing with the marshal. wouldn’t recommend..

Rose

morning round as we traveled Congratulations to the current ownership. I remember the good, bad, and ugly. Funds have been well spent. Greens are slow but understandable for the heat, number of rounds, and turf still maturing. The Rose was always the last golf as we traveled back home after the round.

Dog track, putting on carpet

Rose Hill was an absolute dog track. Their greens are other courses fairways. For playing at 5:30, I should have had an extremely discounted rate. The layout is average but the rest of the course is worse than other peoples backyards and I’ve played all over the US

It’s all just ok

I played Rose Hill Golf Club recently, and overall, it was a decent experience, especially if you’re looking for a budget-friendly round in Bluffton.

Course Conditions:

The greens were average—soft and on the slower side, which made putting a bit tricky. Fairways were okay overall but showed some winter kill in several areas. Bunkers were firm and playable but could use some fresh sand. The cart paths are definitely due for some upgrades, as they’re a bit rough in spots.

Layout & Design:

The layout itself is enjoyable, with a good mix of holes and a nice Lowcountry setting. Water and mature trees add some character without being overly punishing.

Amenities & Value:

Amenities are fairly basic, but the staff was friendly. If you don’t want to drop major cash on a round, Rose Hill is a fair option—affordable and generally playable.

Overall:

It’s not in pristine shape, but it’s a reasonable place to get out and play without breaking the bank.

Great place to play

We had heard that the golf course had been taken over by the HOA and they were managing the restoration of conditions as they had been sub par in years past so we weren’t sure what to expect. It was in solid condition and pace of play was fast in right at 3.5 hours. We weren’t sure pleased to play with a couple of members who made the day even better. Pleasantly surprised at the entire experience. Great place for sure.

Great improvement

This course used to be one of my least favorite in the area. The amount of love and care the team has put into this place over the last couple of years is tremendous. Not perfect, but still really good. Only issue was pace of play, made for a very long round.

Best golf course off the Island near Bluffton

Excellent service. Accommodated us for a 2 person round. We have been playing this course for over 20 yrs now. It's in the best shape we have ever experienced it. I would highly recommend Rose Hill Golf Course. Their rates are reasonable compared to the other courses on the island.

Rose Hill after a rain storm

We were disappointed that we could not warm up on the driving range prior to starting our 9 holes. Since it had rained the night before we had to stay on the cart path. The course was well maintained and we had a nice time playing the course.
